so the title sums this up. when i start the computer, the first thing to pop up after windows loads is a Yahoo Messenger Sign In screen. Yahoo messenger is not an option under add/remove programs, nor is there a start menu group or icon for it.

is there something i can paste into start -> run, or a registry fix i need to do to get rid of this? any help would be much appreciated - i want rid of this program!!!

thanks, reinstalling and uninstalling seems to have worked... it definately wasnt showing up in add/remove programs. i think the guy whos machine it is has been deleting folders, etc to uninstall rather than add/remove programs
